Hello house, is it wiser for me to produce my feeds myself using the calculated formula for feeds or buy company produced feeds, which is more cost effective?. Thank you.

my birds stopped laying after i gave lasota.
they are about 45weeks old. the rate is now just like 35%.
The birds looks healthy and lively, eating as due.
I give them animal care feeds. The other feeds option available if i have to change is topfeeds and livestock.
What should i do?
Thanks

Using the your formula for 50 broilers
50 * 10/25 = 20 bags!
This is not true
On the average I will use a max of 14 bags to feed 50 broilers to maturity
Meaning 50*7/25 =14 bags for 10-11 weeks
